CUP
ROBOT
TABLE AND CHAIR SET
SPACE SHIP
BOTTLE
Note
Displacer
-let it be the sphere of child
-select effect at shader (surface): water, wood…
-object properties: setting
-use texture deform object
Formula
-Put the formula inside the plane
Wind
-into plane
-tick the flag
MoGraph
Cloner
-cube put inside to cloner
-make more cubes, setting at the count
-amount is change
the distance between each cube
-s: size, r: rotate
-in obj mode: object
-Put the sphere in obj
-let the cube on the surface
of sphere
-if the object already be the child, it already control by
the null
(so can only changing at the null: effect )
-Select cloner first, and then choose the random in mograpgh, put random in the
effectors
-parameter is set
for the random
- The strength set to 0, become normal
-Not need add key frame, in effector, random mode: noise, it can be animate already (without add key frame)
-put the tube in
cloner first then choose Step (like
stare)
-Follow the graph in effector
-Target effector
(always follow the target)
-if add cube into it and let it be the object/ effector,
other small cube will follow it
-target: look at camera
-time: automatic
set the key frame for animation (time, cloner-tube)
-Cloner- cube (choose grid
array at object)
-Put the torus inside volume object; add volume (volume,
torus, cloner-cube) = to influent
- (spline, n-side, cloner-cube)
-Make a star (star, spline, each one? put into sphere)
- (random and shader can play in the same time, cloner-cube)
-Circle, sweep-rectangle, text -sweep put into cloner,
rectangle and text put into sweep
3D ANIMATION WEEK 4 - SLPINE & GENERATOR
Spline line has no 3D depth, doesn’t show after render
B-spline : automatically creates curve with 3 points
White starting point, blue ending point. Sequence can be
reversed – right click
Better to draw spline from top view
Cubic spline automatically curves with two points
PRIMITIVE SPLINE
-
Play with options in OBJECT section
-
Change TEXT under OBJECT PROPERTIES
-
Cogwheel similar to gear shape
HOW TO MANIPULATE SPLINE
-
Use live selection/others to select point
-
Points selected can be scaled, rotated, etc.
-
Right click, soft interpolation: make point able
to curve
-
Use move tool to move handle for points (curves)
-
Ctrl + click -
add more point (must use move tool)
-
Use CHAMFER – make points of a square rounded,
use radius at attribute manager to adjust curve of points
-
Cant see after render, use with EXTRUDE. Click
spline and drop under extrude later. Can see shape after render
IMPORTING
AI SPLINE TO CINEMA 4D
-
Create shape as pen tool, file, save as, set
version to Illustrator 8
-
File, open, import ai file, ok, extrude
GENERATOR
-
Use other objects to generate a surface e.g.
spline
-
Extrude
spline of object to create depth (extrude: parent
-
Can create hole
-
Two circles
-
Extrude can only read one layer
-
Make editable – select both circles - connect
object and delete
-
Drag and drop inside extrude
-
Hole in centre woo
-
Cap option, start end ada cap option
-
Fillet cap: edges more rounder
-
Fillet type can be altered
-
SWEEP object
-
Requires 2 spline
-
Cross section first layer (circle)
-
Path second layer (helix)
-
Cross section will sweep along the path
-
Can animate, use object>end growth / start
growth
-
Object , details, can adjust scale and rotation,
ctrl click to add point
-
LATHE object
-
Start from right view
-
Use Bezier as a pen tool and draw outline/thickness
of wine glass
-
Will evolve 360 degrees to become a shape
-
Can use selection tool to change points, thus
changing shape of object
-
SUBDIVISION object
-
Smooths out the edge, reduce polygon
-
Same results as when adding fillet/segments etc
-
LOFT object
-
Combining three or more splines as radius
outline
-
Rotate P=90degrees
-
Caps
-
Take out all spline from loft to see outline

3D Animation: Just What Your Product Requires
ReplyDelete2017 saw the value of the global animation market rise to $254 billion. It has, however, become evident that the increase was but the beginning. This industry is sure to grow, particularly now that it has proved to be an effective marketing tool.
3D animation is conventionally a reserve of the entertainment business. This is because animation is phenomenal at captivating an audience. These days, however, animation is present beyond the cinema halls -being utilized to showcase products.
So how effective is 3D product animation https://pinksquare.com/3d-animation/?
Well, to be honest, it WORTH A LOT MORE THAN THAT!
Consider giant brands like Gillette and the ever popular Apple. Look at the Gillette ads and you will realize that a simple animation changed a lowly shave into an adventure. This has made the brand extremely popular among customers. Gillette was wise enough to realize that to rise above the competition, it had to move away from generic advertising. At the end of the day, a top quality animation reflects very well on your brand. Employ 3D product animation and join the ever growing list of businesses that are dominating their niches.
The benefits of 3D animation- as a marketing tool- can be summed up in three main points:
1.Prototyping Made Easy: Prototypes are expensive. Now, to be fair, the role played by prototypes makes them worth every penny but, what if we could have the same results without employing pricey prototypes? Well, now you can. 3D product animation models your product in an online world and exposes it to the market. This way, you get feedback for your product cheaply.
2. First Impressions Come Once: Let's face it, many products are boring. Imagine the Gillette brand without the 3D animation. How dull would that have been?
With 3D product animation, however, a boring product is transformed into an adventure of cinematic proportions. The item is viewable across all 360-degrees with special effects added for that extra punch. When done properly, animation will endear your brand to the relevant niche.
The iPhone X is a fine example. The marketing strategy was predominantly centered on3D models. Some other brand names including Microsoft, Huawei, and Samsung have also used 3D product animations. This is the reason why it's so difficult to defeat these companies.
3.Money Matters: 3D product animation is not an expense, it is a save. The 3D model can even be used to identify glitches in an unfinished product. Designers get a feel of the product before it is physically prototyped- and make all the proper changes.
Animation is easily the most cost-effective marketing method there is. Just take a look at how popular Virtual Reality (V.R) and 3D modelling are- no one can get enough of 3D.
Your product can get a lot from 3D technologies. The animation will give your product an aura of suspense and class that the market just finds irresistible. The animation procedure also makes the brand feel modern and worthy of a place in the contemporary market. The wrong first impression has been the death of many products.
Don't be a part of the failures. Abandon generic advertising methods. Turn your marketing into a 3D adventure. You do wish to be the next Apple and Huawei, don't you?
